Today I am Thankful

Good afternoon friends!  Happy Thanksgiving.  I know many of you are so busy in your kitchens getting ready for the big holiday. 

When I started my blog, I had no idea what direction it would go.  I never imagined there was people out there whom I had never met who would be truly interested in my life and the life of my family and people who would be so genuinely concerned when something went wrong.   Thanks to all of you from the bottom of my heart for all you have done and all of the prayers that have been sent up for my mama.  I am so thankful for each and every one of you. 

Yesterday was surgery day and it didn't go as planned.  The surgeon said he hit a blockage and was not able to complete the procedure.  So...the problem wasn't taken care of like we had hoped.  During her surgery, her blood pressure hit rock bottom and the doctor admitted she scared him.  They admitted her to keep a check on the blood pressure last night.  It just wouldn't come up!  

I was so worried and was so hoping they could do something to get it up.  They pushed IV fluids fast all night and this morning it was high enough that they felt safer.  It has stayed up all day and they are going to release her.  

What's next?  A lot.  A lot of doctor's visits and still more procedures.  They are still going to figure out a way to get the fluid and infection drained from the kidney.  

Please keep her in your prayers. 

I am thankful that she is coming home and thankful she is ok. 

I am thankful we can all be together to celebrate Thanksgiving. 

 Hubby's family has decided not to get together.  Kinda sad that families have lost that importance of being together but it is what it is.  

We will eat lunch with mama and daddy (Taking them Cracker Barrel) hehe.

Then we will eat supper with Kathy.  She has been cooking for what seems like a week!  

I hope all of you have a great Thanksgiving and make great memories with your families.
